Sideshow Luiz

This match needs a pick me up. Ianni on for Kepa, please Note: I think he was 100% wrong and Jose did a good job of saying that there is no story here, when reporters were asking. Now that that's said, I just think the picture is really funny.

Yes, he's back to being the winger we never wanted. Conte needs to get a job soon so we can sell him.

Straight swap for Dybala. However, I'm the kind of person who wants to keep players that I like regardless. Don't get me wrong, he's worth 100-odd M, but not to us in the way we are playing (it would seem). For me, the jury is still out on his effectiveness in this role. We still have the same balance other 3 midfielder systems have. Ball winner, and 2 playmakers, one more attacking than the other. It's just a little lopsided because it suits us more in an attacking sense, and we're planning on having 60-70% of the ball. If Kante got forward more, it would also mean that he should be winning the ball higher up the pitch. If Allan can do it, I don't see why Kante can't do it better.

If I recall, that's where he played last year when he actually got some minutes. I have to admit, I'm really squeamish about playing CMs or attacking midfielders out wide. It's the Mata effect.

Yeah, Barkley needs to come on for him soon.

Moses......Nooooooooooooo depressing. And for Willian too, that means Willian starting on Sunday. Edit: Okay, too rash - CHO on now, minutes later.

I know you want to see Barkley as RW, But I don't know if I see it, myself.

Get in, RLC. Make yourself too valuable to keep in the reserves.

I'm not sure i'm ready for that yet. Azpi hasn't been great, but...well.....Zappacosta

See, I'd rather he came off and reduced injury possibility or fatigue. i want to see Pedro start this weekend.

Pedro off, Willian over to the right, CHO on. Whichever one comes off is the likely starter this weekend.

Pedro off, CHO on, please.

If Bakayoko can start against Betis, please let's see RLC and CHO (assuming healthy).

I'd say that Kante need to get forward more, at least a bit.

Spurs have played Utd and Liverpool I remembered the Utd match, but I didn't remember them playing Liverpool. my bad.

Yup. Out of the other 5 teams vying for the top 4, we've played 3 of them. Liverpool have only played 2, Arsenal 2, Spuds 1, Man Utd 2

Balls. The worst part was seeing Guendouzi playing while CHO never gets a minute.

Mustafi should have been booked too. He just straight up push Maddison down on the counter. And the ref saw it. BS

C'mon Leicester 1-0. Referee has been trying his best to gift the match to Arsenal, but they've been too shit to take advantage.

Could maybe get Bailey in January. No ST that's good enough to lead our line is going to be available, so we can forget about that.

Yes, it all depends. It would also depend a lot on whether the player wanted to come back as well. I'm not suggesting that we should piss off anyone. But, it really looks like we'll be getting another striker next summer. It would be good to see what Bats can contribute under Sarri before dropping 70 - 100 M. With the caveat: if possible.

we brought Ake back early 2 seasons ago. He barely played for us, it was just cover. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If Morata keeps this up, we should consider recalling Michy in January. We have to see what we have in him before deciding to spend big in the summer on a ST. Don't get me wrong, I hope Morata starts banging them in. But, with the way it's looking, he's not going to be our striker next season and Michy needs a look in under Sarri.
